How to Select the Right Chain Hoist?

Hello dear friends,this is Chris from Nybon Machinery.Today I'd like to share with you some basic knowledge of chain hoist.

Some of my customers have difficulty in selecting chain hoist when they tried to purchase one,only a few very experienced people have a clear idea about what to choose.

If your facility has been relying on forklift trucks or manual labor for heavy lifting, it might be time to consider purchasing a chain hoist. Before you purchase the first chain hoist you see, be sure that either you or your crane equipment provider (preferably both) are making a well-researched decision. Here are a few considerations to help you ensure that the chain hoist you purchase will meet your needs.

First, discuss with your crane service provider the nature of your business and specifically how you will be using your chain hoist. For example, consider any special hazards that you would be dealing with. Is the crane for an outdoor application? Are there chemicals being handled? Will your crane be lifting food products?

Then, discuss how hard you are going to work your crane. Specify does your business run one, two or three shifts per day, and how many lifts will you be doing per each 8-hour shift? How much weight will this crane typically be lifting?

With this information, a crane equipment provider can recommend the style and duty level of the crane you’ll require. They will be able to determine whether it needs to be hook mounted and have a push trolley or motorized trolley. If a manual product will work best, we can recommend either a manual block or a lever hoist. Depending on your application, you may need a single speed, dual speed, dual trolley speed or a variable speed hoist.

For safety reasons, a remote radio-operated chain hoist might be the best option, especially if there are obstacles along the path of the chain hoist. When the crane operator will benefit from standing further away from heavy objects, radio controls are a must.

There are many kinds of chain hoists of course,the electric chain hoist is composed of a motor, a transmission mechanism and a sprocket.

The lifting weight is generally 0.1 to 60 tons, and the lifting height is 3 to 120 meters. The electric chain hoist has a wide range of applications. It is mainly used in major factories, warehouses, wind power generation, logistics, docks, construction and other industries. Lifting or loading and unloading goods, you can also lift heavy objects to facilitate work or repair large machines. The electric chain hoist is operated by the operator on the ground with buttons, and it can also be operated in the control room or wired (wireless) remote control. The electric chain hoist can be used for fixed suspension, and can also be used with electric monorail trolley and hand-push/hand-pull monorail trolley for walking.

When you are ready to request a quote for a chain hoist, also remember to specify the voltage you need. Nybon hoists can work in a wide array of electrical voltages in the 50 or 60 Hz families. It is critical that the crane supplier knows which voltage you need. If these numbers do not match up, the chain hoist will not work.
